Bronny James says the winner of a 1 on 1 with his father LeBron James remains 'to be determined'

Bronny was asked to name an NBA player he would challenge game of 1 on 1

Bronny James has been one of the most talked about prospects at this year's NBA Scouting Combine. 

James met with the media at the combine and went through a round of rapid-fire questions. One of the questions brought up a hypothetical game of 1 on 1 with an NBA player. "If you could challenge any NBA player to a 1 on 1, who would it be and why?" the reporter asked.

"LeBron James because I have not played him 1 on 1 in a minute," Bronny replied.

The 19-year-old, whose full name is LeBron Raymone James Jr., also does not seem interested in passing his name to his potential future child.

"If you have a son will you name them LeBron James III?" 

"Absolutely not," Bronny responded.

LeBron James had previously shared his hope to play in the NBA alongside his son, but after the Los Angeles Lakers first round playoff exit, he said he had not "given much thought lately" to that wish.

"My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself and, of course, get to the NBA," Bronny James said Tuesday. "I never thought about playing with my dad. But of course, he's brought it up a couple times.

"This is a serious business. I don't feel like there would be a thought of ‘I’m just drafting this kid just because I'm gonna get his dad.' I don't think a GM would really allow that. I think I've put in the work and I'll get drafted because of not only the player but the person that I am."

Bronny measured at a height of 6 feet, 1.5 inches at the NBA Scouting Combine. He was listed at 6 feet, 4 inches at USC.
